You can start the route from eastern to western Uganda. Explore the Kidepo Valley National Park and here you will experience the morning, evening and night game drives and with the park ranger you have high chances to spot the beautiful wildlife on various tracks in the park.
Later, you can take educative visit to the nearby communities and a case in point is the Lorukul and here you experience the daily day life that these people leave. Before they were facing problems with animals encroaching on their food baskets and thanks to some of the local non-governmental organizations like E4P Africa that has done civil education to this community on how to leave in harmony with the wildlife like the Elephants.
It was in 2016 – 17 the organization researcher and volunteer “Michael Schwartz” together with the Country Director “Moses Konde” visited this community and found that locals were using harmful measures to send away these animals from their crops and from their visit that is Michael and Moses encouraged the locals to use items like drumming and the animals will go and the project worked so well and later the complaint was forwarded to Uganda Wildlife Authority and it is working on it to solve the matter!
On this self-drive route, you will have to connect to the Murchison Falls National Park and here accesses to the park via the Tangi gate and there are very many areas you can easily take your rooftop tent camping and then you will experience the tremendous game drives looking for the African big5 and much more. The boat cruise along the River Nile towards the bottom of the falls is so amazing. While on this boat ride you will be able to see much more wildlife and bird life species at the shores of the bank.
Later on, after the Savannah experience the next interesting place to drive is the Kibale Forest National Park and on your way to this park you will have much more to explore en-route and first the green covers and the fabled mountain Rwenzori are so rewarding. Then the chimpanzee trekking is an experience that one wouldn’t like to miss in Africa. When you read about the associates of these primates with human being the difference is quite less as they are 98.7 % DNA from the human beings.

Bwindi is famously known to be the home of the remaining mountain gorillas in the wild and it is this park with the high population compared to other parks like Mgahinga, Virunga and Volcanoes which all make up the Virunga massif block. Gorilla trekking experience is an experience that every traveler on his or her Uganda tour wouldn’t miss and combining this with the great wildebeest migration is amazing. Gorilla trekking tours are much possible with your advanced planning and securing the permit is much advised and the experience in the mist takes half day and you are allowed to stay with the mountain gorillas in wild for one hour and taking memorable photos and videos!
